This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys creating high-quality user experiences, crafting intuitive interfaces, and owning features from early design through to production. While the role is frontend-focused, you’ll collaborate closely with backend developers and work confidently with APIs and data-driven UIs. Their frontend stack centres on React, with a strong emphasis on usability, accessibility, testing, and long-term maintainability.

You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, Design, and Research teams, contributing to software used globally by educators and school leaders.

• Comfortable working with APIs and data-driven UIs
• Familiarity with agile development

Desirable

• Experience with React and modern tooling
• Knowledge of automated testing tools and approaches
• Understanding of accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG)
• Experience collaborating with backend teams and RESTful APIs
• Exposure to performance optimisation or frontend monitoring
• Experience deploying frontend apps or working with CI/CD

Salary for this role is up to £45K DOE

Benefits include

• Motivated and supportive team
• Uncapped annual leave
• Flexible working policy – core hours 10am-3pm and flexi-time scheme.
• Hybrid working – 2 days from office.
• Generous parental leave
• Salary sacrifice options
